As David Cameron outlines his plans for the European referendum in the House of Commons, Christian MPs on both sides of the debate have been outlining to Premier why think the UK should leave or remain in the EU.

The Prime Minister says British jobs and businesses depend on being able to trade with Europe on a level playing field.

He's confirmed there will be no second referendum if the UK votes to leave the EU in June.

"I believe the choice is between being an even greater Britain inside a reformed EU or a great leap into the unknown," he said. "The challenges facing the west today are genuinely threatening. Putin's aggression in the east, Islamist extremism to the south - in my view, this is no time to divide the west.

"When faced with challenges to our way of life, our values and our freedoms, this is a time for strength in numbers."
